I get drained after answering support tickets and emails and I still have more to go...

Remember if you see a EM dash ( — ) in some text, it's probably written with #AI... unless all of a sudden everyone has learned what the difference between a dash, EN dash, and EM dash is and how to type them...

I have about 4 projects I am working on right now and can only make progress on one. 😑 I really need to find someone to help.

Messed around today making some branded stickers for @alicornink.bsky.social along with some project planning and working on a poster design some more.

This is a cool site that replicates the old Weather Channel. weatherstar.netbymatt.com

Suggestions on where to find people to #hire for a #marketing #job? I have tried Indeed, but they charge like $100/day, and I don't want to spend that much.

This is the start of a poster for @alicornink.bsky.social next project. It does not look like much now but it will soon-ish... I don't know why I designed the poster to have a lot of small repetitive details...

I saw this article on LinkedIn "Banks are slowing hiring as they prepare for an #AI future" which is just AI hype like Meta's recent announcement of wanting people to work 5x more using AI (while AI does not produce 5x more output). The post and all the comments on LinkedIn were written by AI.

I have some art to make and I think Clip Studio will work the best but thats also the one software I know the least. 😑

I think @alicornink.bsky.social website is mostly done. Now to start on the next project and hopefully have it completed in the next few days. Anyone want to test it before the public?

Trying to get any search engine to index my new website has been a pain 😫

Working on a coffee ad graphic today.

Time to get a pumpkin 🎃

I am out of idea on how to finish this design and I don't like the font but PhotoShop is being a butt...

I have the concept of one graphic done. I still have to make it and then will have about 8 more to make after that. This is going to be a gind to get done and its all stock marketing graphics so I won't have much to show for it.

New avatar and photo done. Now to make graphics for Alicorn Ink's website.

Today's goals are to finish my website, get some new photos taken of myself, and prepare for next week.

I got had about 10 minutes to play around with some stuffs and made this. I have no idea where I am going with this.

Still working on stuffs and things... Here is a thing tough...

I am glad I have a really good computer. Working on about 10 large files in photoshop.

I checked my LinkedIn and almost all the posts I saw contained an em dashes. Do you know what an em dash is? When to use it? The difference between an en dash and an em dash? How to type it on your phone and computer? If you answered NO, then why are you using a — in your writing? Could it be AI?

I have worked on everything other than making art 😩 hopefully very soon I will have all the marketing and website and stuff done and can start on actual art stuffs... (and maybe spend a bit more time trying to find people to help)

Playing around with marketing #art for @alicornink.bsky.social and come up with this design from the logo. It's kind of neat. What do you think?

404 page done

Why hire an artist when AI can make #art? Because any artist can at least get the alphabet correct. This is an image I saw in a group where someone asked AI to make a #Bluey alphabet graphic... and its really bad... not Clod though... Clod is the best character on Bluey only second to Fat Flea...

😫 I am having issues with both Gmail and Outlook with Outlook seeming to be having a lot of issues in the last hour. Guess no email for me today...

I have the project page for Void Mail from @alicornink.bsky.social completed. Super close now to start working on some more fun projects. alicorn.ink/studio/void-...

A video test from today edited on my phone. I am going to have to use my computer as its very difficult to edit on a phone.

Made progress on the site. It's getting closer to being completed so I can move on to something more fun. Just need to add images, complete the home page, add some stuff on the blog pages, review everything... alicorn.ink/studio/void-...

Just ordered a mic to use to make videos with... and I have little idea what I am doing...

Looks like I am going to have to start making videos.

I have scheduled all the social media posts for next week, got closer to having @alicornink.bsky.social website completed, has a meeting scheduled tomorrow to do a photo shoot, and finally got the listings up for the artists we need to hire.

I have posted the initial positions we have opened for #artists (still working on it). We are looking for some dedicated and talented people who love making #art and experimenting. Learn more at alicorn.ink/careers

Working on @alicornink.bsky.social today. Cleaning up followers and working on our new website.

Had a busy day today but finally back at my desk working on planning pots for social media.

Had lunch at an interesting Jewish restaurant. It was packed and the food was great.

Good #Morning "Wake Up and Be Petty" This was at one of the coffee shops I went to yeaterday.

Coffee #2

Coffee acquired

Waiting on coffee...

Got to the studio to find out no one has come in yet. 😅 Guess it's time to get some coffee.

That was a good dessert but I wish I added some alcohol in with it. Guess I will try that next time.

Follow me while I make some baked apple dish. I am just making it up as I go along. #cooking #food

How has your day been? #trump

Went to a Target down the road from me today and apparently they lost power yesterday causing them to lose all their cold products.

I think the about page is almost done. It needs a call to action footer but then it should be complete... than I need to finish the other pages...

Working on @alicornink.bsky.social website today. It's getting there... slowly...

Trying to get a good about written for Alicorn Ink this morning. I have rewritten it at least 20 times and its wording is still not right.

Been sick today 😢 but slowly feeling better.
